Part of my job of being a Bard is to create rowing songs for our crew, for when we row (while our motor's broken*). Here is one of my newest ones.

Oh, and here's the key:

Words look like this when the Bard is singing.

Words look like this when the crew is singing.

Words look like this when everyone sings.

Here goes!

"We are Vikings"

by the bard Olaf the Bald of the viking crew of the Bloodhound

The toll upon our bones, we weep

The pace with waves our arms, we keep

The feeling of glory that comes our way

waxes and wanes day by day

The feeling of triumph, in our grasp

The weapons, of deadly, in our clasp

We'll conquer and feel the ones of old

beckoning to us we are so... bold ...

We are vikings, go and go

Stick the oars in, row and row

Pity the ones for their sake

Death and Destruction follow our wake...

We are vikings, go and go

Stick the oars in, row and row

Pity the ones for their sake

Death and Destruction follow our wake...

All over the land, all over the sea

we fight and kill our enemies

and those who fear us, don't be wrong

you'll be next before too long

the ones who sing, do not forget

have no worries, do not regret

those who oppose us will soon be gone

Because we are the number one...

Num... ber... one...

We are vikings, go and go

Stick the oars in, row and row

Pity the ones gone for their sake

Death and Destruction follows our wake...

And I'm warning you, firey... It's one thing to insult Hagar the Horrible's poems, but you EVEN LOOK AT MINE THE WRONG WAY, AND I'LL TRACK YOUR IP ADDRESS TO YOUR HOUSE!

So, you liked it, eh?

Olaf the BAAAAALD
